Zach and I talked about some of the obstacles he had to overcome to find success, how he got to where he is now, and how having a mentor and networking have played a key role in his career. Here is the breakdown of our conversation...
2:05 - What does it mean to you to show up for yourself?
Waking up every single day, regardless of where you are, and being consistent with good habits.
2:50 - Intro to Zach’s story - He was born in South Korea and adopted by parents in Iowa. He didn’t fit in growing up because he wasn’t like everyone else and was bullied. He struggled until he found dance which gave him his voice and gave him confidence and led him all over the world which kick started his career.
4:25 - Did the confidence you found in dance give you confidence to push past other barriers?
It gave him the confidence to walk into fear and be okay with rejection and nos. He learned rejection is part of the process and you just have to keep believing in yourself and surround yourself with good, supportive people.
5:20 - Have you always had this vision for your life or has it been built from the other things you’ve done?
His friend gave him a break dance book (https://www.amazon.com/Break-Dance-vol-Mike-Garcia/dp/B01GWC12JM) that changed his life. He threw out his back but after he injured himself and was down in the dumps his same friend reached out with an opportunity. He trusted his friend who encouraged him to work with him helping people build their social media presence.
7:15 - How do you create meaningful relationships?
Life is all about people. People want to be heard and understood. Hear them and care about them and find a creative way to stay in touch and keep building that relationship.
9:35 - How have you become so knowledgeable?
A lot of it is trial and error. When something doesn’t go right he reflects on what works and what doesn’t and talks with a mentor to learn more.
10:50 How did you find your mentor and ask them to be your mentor?
Be hungry to learn and ask for help. Get knowledgeable on the person whom you want to be your mentor. Take time to get to know them. You can also join a mastermind group. Surround yourself with the best to be one of the best.
14:40 Do you ever struggle with comparison or limiting beliefs?
All the time. It can be overwhelming but it’s inspiring to be by some many diverse people. Don't think small. Anytime you can be around the best instructors, do it and don’t be fearful. Focus on giving instead.
17:15 Why is a social media presence so important?
Do you want to be a consumer or a creator and impact people's lives? Your name is your most important asset. Social media helps widen your net of people you can reach. Businesses come and go but relationships last.
18:40 Do you have advice on how to build relationships all over the world?
Pick an industry you're excited about. Learn, take notes, network. Get super specific on what you’re trying to do so you can learn about it and connect with people that need that service.
19:50 What is your favorite quote that you love or love to live by?
“Keep small promises and commitments” from The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (https://www.amazon.com/Habits-Highly-Effective-People-Powerful/dp/0743269519). It’s easy to say but can be hard to do but it’s so important because it means so much to people.
20:50 - Zach’s writing a book that’s coming out later this year! For more info check out zachbenson.life. Reach out to him if you want to learn more about growing your following or have any other questions!
